"A Sailor Went to Sea" is a traditional children's nursery rhyme, clapping game, and skipping rhyme. It was initially called 'My Father Went to Sea', before becoming more widely known as 'A Sailor Went to Sea'.[1]
Lyrics
A first verse of A Sailor Went To Sea goes as:
- A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
- To see what he could see, see, see.
- But all that he could see, see, see
- Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.
While saying "sea", aquatic waves are mimed with the hand; while saying "see", the hand is brought to the eye to mime a "seeing" gesture.
Further verses typically replace "sea/see" with other words, such as "chop", "knee", "bed", or "pick", "toes", with appropriate gestural substitutions.[2]
